City Life Quality API

This API provides structured access to data about quality of life metrics in cities around the world, offering endpoint-level access to indicators such as purchasing power, safety, healthcare, climate, and traffic, with filtering by country.

The City Life Quality API enables developers and data consumers to query real-time quality of life rankings and statistics for global cities as provided by Numbeo. Instead of retrieving the entire dataset at once, this API is segmented into targeted endpoints that expose each quality metric individually. Users can retrieve the list of cities globally and then access specific metrics for cities within a particular country using simple RESTful queries. This modular design enhances performance, minimizes payload size, and supports scalable data analytics across domains like urban planning, travel, and HR benchmarking.

City Life Quality API FAQs

The City Life Quality API provides structured access to data about quality of life metrics in cities worldwide, including indicators such as purchasing power, safety, healthcare, climate, and traffic.

You can access specific quality of life metrics for a city by using the API's targeted endpoints, which allow you to query individual metrics for cities within a particular country using simple RESTful queries.

The API provides various quality of life indicators, including purchasing power, safety, healthcare, climate, and traffic, allowing users to analyze different aspects of urban living.

Yes, the API allows users to filter data by country, enabling you to retrieve quality of life metrics for cities specifically within the selected country.

The modular design of the API enhances performance by allowing users to retrieve only the necessary data through targeted endpoints, minimizing payload size and supporting scalable data analytics.

Each endpoint returns specific quality of life metrics for cities. For example, the "get purchasing power by city" endpoint returns the Purchasing Power Index, while the "get safety index by city" provides the Safety Index. Each response includes the city name and the corresponding metric value.

The key fields in the response data typically include "city" (the name of the city), and the specific metric being queried, such as "purchasing_power," "safety_index," or "health_care_index," along with their respective values.

The response data is organized in a JSON format, where each response contains a city field and the corresponding metric value. For example, a response from the "get healthcare index by city" endpoint would look like: {"city":"Buenos Aires, Argentina","health_care_index":36.9}.

Each endpoint provides distinct information: the countries endpoint lists all countries, the cities endpoint lists cities by country, and the metrics endpoints provide specific indices like purchasing power, safety, healthcare, and overall quality of life for individual cities.

The primary parameters include "country" for the cities endpoint and "city" for the metrics endpoints. Users must specify these parameters to retrieve relevant data, such as cities in a specific country or metrics for a particular city.

Users can utilize the returned data by integrating it into applications for urban planning, travel analysis, or HR benchmarking. For instance, comparing purchasing power across cities can help businesses make informed relocation decisions.

The data is sourced from Numbeo, which aggregates user-contributed data on quality of life metrics. This ensures a broad and diverse dataset reflecting real-world conditions in various cities.

Typical use cases include urban planning, travel decision-making, and HR benchmarking. For example, companies can use the quality of life index to assess potential locations for new offices based on employee well-being and safety.

General FAQs

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the β€˜X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.

The β€˜X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.

Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
